Hi Loren, Here is Kirby Peak !
On the left in the photo covered in shade from the clouds.
This photo was taken down in Bootjack looking back up toward Yosemite,(North - East).You can see the difference in elevation between Lush Meadows(the lower hills), is about 2000 ft.
The higher snow capped peaks are about 1500 ft above Kirby Peak !
And behind that peak is Yosemite. |

Here is the big thing to to today:
No longer getting a thrill from haunted houses and pumpkin patches? For a different Halloween spin, Coarsegold (Madera County), suggests learning to love the creepy-crawlies at its Tarantula Awareness Festival, Oct. 29. Besides the Tarantula Derby, there's a Hairy Leg Contest, a scream-off and tarantula poetry. Call (559) 683-3900 or visit www.coarsegoldhistoricvillage.com. |

Hi Keith, thanks for the Photos.
I think those high country hikes will have to wait for the spring due to snow.
You are right on the difficulty level as these two links will show.

well, i didn't make the tarantula festival either - i guess "running behind" is a trait we share!
and having an extra hour isn't going to help. maybe if we had one every day ... |
